The frequently zany scribblings of a well-rounded man with passionate opinions. Hey, it's better than "Something I put up because I needed to rant before my head exploded."

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

After reading "Harvest the Wind" by Philip Warburg, my biggest question was: With all the government and environmental regulations, as well as the compensation paid to the landowners and the splitting of the revenue with same, how are these wind energy providers going to make any money? Yet, they seem to be starting to.

A better solution would seem to be for individual homeowners to have their own wind turbines, solar panels or other means of providing alternative energy installed, getting off the grid and not being concerned about selling electricity to the power companies.

Of course additionally, these things need early adopters to give the manufactures reason to make more efficient versions of these types of things.
